Parts Scavenger



I need there to be an electronic junkyard in Dallas. Somewhere I can go to nose through giant stacks of broken equipment, cut circuit boards apart, desolder pots and switches and salvage cases for projects. Sadly, this doesn't seem to exist. I called and emailed most of the places in town that do ecycling, but with no luck.

On the upside I found out that bgmicro, a local electronic parts website based out of Garland, will let you pick up any order you make at their warehouse, thereby saving you on shipping. They were super nice and the prices are pretty comparable to everyone else online. The lady said it would be best if you called first to make sure they have what you want in stock.

If you know about an e-cycling center that will let me come by and pick through their junk, let me know because that's my idea of heaven.
